TS4062 I purchased a used iPod Nano 4th Gen. I can't get it to sync on my new iTunes download
I bought this iPod Nano 4th Generation in perfect condition, as a gift to my mother-in-law. I had been used once. I've downloaded a new version of iTunes onto her computer and added a music library from her CD's. I cannot the iPod it to accept the new data. It LOOKS like it's synching but the new data from iTunes is not transferring over onto the iPod. It's as though this used Nano is locked or something. Does anybody have any ideas of what I can do? Thank you in advance to all you brainy types!
Thanks Chris CA.
In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings" Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?" I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-( This is what makes me think it might be locked or something....

I purchased an used iPod Nano 4th.with many,many,many songs and albums on it,but when i plugged the usb cable into my laptop(i am a new comer to computer) i thought i was changing the name and thought i was syncing but something went wrong and everything was gone! is there any way possible to get these back? Please I need Help!!! Thank you!
Was the music purchased via your iTunes account and/or did you buy it from other sources or copy it from your own CDs, or did the music belong to the previous owner ? If the music was yours then you can sync it back to the iPod via your computer's iTunes. If the music is not still on your computer then have you got a backup of it ? If not then for iTunes purchases you might be able to re-download it depending on which country you are in. If the music was put on the iPod by the previous owner then you will need to buy your own copies of it.

I purchased a used Ipod touch 4th gen and my computer (Windows XP) recognizes it as a camera but Itunes will not recognize the ipod. Old ipod works and connects fine. Any suggestions?
Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck. However...

IPod touch 4th gen. Can't get music on computer.
My step dad recently wiped the harddrive and claims he put everything on an external drive. I can't find my music on there and my i touch is refusing to do anything until I sync to itunes. However, when I plug my itouch into the computer a screen shows up claiming I must restore my i touch. I have over $500 worth of music. Is there any possible way to sync my music from my i touch without losing everything?

I shattered the screen on my iPod touch 4th gen. Can I get it replaced and what is the price?
The screen is completely shattered. I was told that Apple will replace/repair for free. Does anyone know if this is true?
Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a n64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister
From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod. -
Using a Windows formatted iPod Nano (4th Gen) with Bootcamp on a Mac(Win XP
Hey I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use a previously formatted iPod Nano (4th Gen) with a Mac that has XP Bootcamped on to it. If the Nano is placed in manually manage music with the original computer it was formatted with, will it be able to accept music, movies, podcasts, etc from the windows on the Mac or will they still be incompatible?
Well, I have 4 internal drive bays filled already, is there room somewhere for 5th one in the box? I wasn't aware of it if there is?? My mac is MacPro3,1, early 2008.
That macsales.com link is interesting but I'm not in the US (I'm in Croatia), and all those brands are supidly expensive here, that $80 esata docking station is almost $200 here... bahh. For that price I may as well buy a whole new 3TB external disk, I want to dock the old one to save money.
I've browsed around and I've found Icy Box docks, which have much more reasonable prices:
BOX IB-110StUS2-B
ICY BOX IB-111StUS2-Wh
ICY BOX IB-115StUS2HC
They all claim to have OSX support... anyone have any experience with them? -

I have an iPod Nano - 4th gen. How do I get music (which I didn't purchase on iTunes) from my iPod into my iTunes?
If the iPod is the only place that you have the music (e.g. you don't have it on a backup drive) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back from it : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
You can then add it to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library -

Itunes won't recognize my ipod nano 4th gen (or any other ipod) as a device
i've had my ipod nano 4th gen for as long as 4th gen's have been around. never had a problem with it or itunes. until now. all of a sudden, when i plug my ipod in to sync the new music purchased, itunes doesn't even recognize my ipod. "devices" never even comes up. "sync ipod" under file isn't highlighted. my ipod only shows as charging. since this problem occurred, i've tried my husband's ipod and it isn't recognized. i've used numerous cords in both USB ports. i've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. nothing is working! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

IPod nano (4th gen) not recognized by iTunes 11.1.3
I have an iPod nano (4th gen). After upgarding iTunes to v 11.1.3 (MacBook Pro) I get the follwoing message:
iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.
Unfortunately, I restored to factory settings, which erased everything, but each time I connect the iPod I get the same message.
It must be an issue with compatibility because I get the same message with my wife's iPod (same gen), but hers syncs just fine on her iTunes (v 10), and I get the same message using two different USB cables.
So now my iPod is essentially empty (factory settings) and as good as a paperweight unless there is a way to get iTunes to recognize and sync. If I could get past the error message, I suspect it would be easy to sync automatically or manually.
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksHi JMfromMN,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iPod isn't recognized by your computer, this article may help:
iPod not recognized in My Computer and in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
Since your wife's iPod displays the same behavior omn your computer, it sounds like the troubleshooting for the iPod itself (which you've largely already done anyway) can be skipped.
Cheers,

Ipod Nano 4th Gen not recognised in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Itunes and screen blank
Hello,
I have a quite old (3-4 years old) iPod Nano 4th Gen.
The screen is blank, which means it needs charging. When I plug it into my laptop/computer then it doesn't show up which im assuming is because it needs charging.
When I plug it into my plug charger (plugged into a wall) nothing happens.
I think this is because the cables (I have 3- 2 computer USB cables and one plug charger cable) being too lose and not connecting to the iPhone fully.
I have looked at all the articles, I have done the R's, I have tried to restore it, I have pressed the clickwheel and centre button together and I have toggled the hold switch.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated! (And please save the "take it to apple support" etc... comments for if you can't think of anything else- not being rude but I know this)
Thanks
BitMyAppleHey, I hear ya and can sympathize. I have the same
issue. The difference is that my computer can "see"
my ipod but it refuses to show up in itunes itself;
therefore, I can't put anything on the ipod (from the
computer) and vice-versa. Apple support is clueless.
This is very frustrating to say the least. Itunes
keeps telling me that my ipod is synced to a
"different" computer, which isn't true. It's the
same computer. The difference is that when I first
got the 'pod and used it with this computer (and
everything worked fine), I was running XP. I
installed Vista and after that, all the problems
started. If I ever get this resolved, believe me,
I'll post something here.
I'm guessing that somehow, itunes "sees" what
computer it's hooked to by "looking" at something in
the OS. Change the OS and it "thinks" it's seeing a
"different" computer.
Try reformatting it.
